Orlando and Rosalind in William Shakespeare’s As You Like it — one lacking
self-awareness and behaving like a weakling, and the other too sentimental and
emotional, preferring to cry herself out of a situation — are unable to cope with
the situation that Oliver and Ferdinand have created for them. Both hesitate to
declare their love for each other. Both have lopsided personalities, Orlando,
being unconscious of the strength of his animus, and Rosalind, having an
overdeveloped anima to the detriment of her animus. This paper is an attempt to
study the two characters from a Jungian point of view. I contend that both need
to individuate and integrate into the conscious mode to show what they are
potentially capable of. The change of setting, from the Urban (the conscious) to
the Woods (the unconscious), affords them the chance to connect the conscious
with the unconscious in order to become whole.
